Hi All. Name is Tony and I am a fairly new mystery shopper. I have done a few shops already last week and I can say I am hooked. Mystery shopping fits well with my skill set and allows me to keep learning new things. I live in Kitchener, Ontario Canada and was just wondering if anyone can help and advise where I might find more good mystery shopping companies that service Canada. Thanks so much.

Service with Style has shops in Canada. Good Luck and Welcome!

Thanks Christy for the info.

Hi tonyfig47,
I am also new on this forum but I have been doing MS since the summer of 2017. I did my first assignment from ShoppersConfidential.com and I have not looked back. I find the schedulers very Canadian friendly but firm and classy!
If you are looking for more MSC, you might want to try to download this app - PrestoInsta-Shops to see a lists of available assignments in your area but you have to sign-up individually for each provider. However, Presto Insta-Shops may have some assignments available that you can self-assign which has to be completed in 24hours. From the day you submitted your assignment, in less than 3days, they will send you your payment via PayPal. How cool is that? I wish there's more assignment coming from them!
The other app that I use is called Field Agent. Right now they pay via EFT but there's a $0.75 Interac Fee if you are cashing out less than $50. I find some of the assignments are easy and worth my time.
I work full time and I am doing MS on the side only. Luckily, most of the jobs I took are within my area and I don't have to travel far.
Good luck and I hope the above MSC helps you, and hope you can share what works and what doesn't.

Regards,
Miranda

Hi Tony and welcome to the Forum and to the world of mystery shopping! My name is Florence and I am a Territory Manager with Intouch Insight. Our offices are largely based out of Canada and so are our schedulers! We offer a large number of shops in both Canada (Kitchener included) and all over the US for a variety of clients and the list is growing very rapidly. We use the platform I Secret Shop (www.isecretshop.com) to advertise and schedule our shops and this platform also has a mobile app of the same name available for android and iOS devices. We share this platform with over 20 MSPA Americas members and that list keeps growing as well.

We pay our shoppers every other Friday via PayPal so no banking information is requested and no checks that can get lost in the mail! (no offense Canada Post)
If you have any questions about the shops that we offer to our Canadian shoppers you can reach out to me directly or visit our website at www.intouchinsight.com .

I hope you are enjoying your new mystery shopping experiences!

Happy Shopping!

-Florence M.

I am so pleased that you signed up with Bare and have become a trusted Evaluator with us. We have a lot more evaluations coming for Canada, so I am glad that you are finding shops to complete! Thank you!

My thanks is to you BARE. You were one of the few companies to give me a chance and give me jobs even though I was new and had little experience. I look forward to work more with you.

Hi Florence

I am all signed up and have done 3 jobs this week. Looking forward.to the future

@tonyfig47

There are a variety of different certifications that will help you learn more about mystery shopping and qualify for more shops.
Please let me know if you have any questions. Happy to assist you. Thank you!

Welcome, Tony. I have done lots of work with both BARE and Intouch, and both are great companies to work with. Sounds like you're on the right track! This website has a large list of Mystery Shopping Companies, and many have Canadian shops. Keep signing up for companies, and check job boards consistently. Companies may not have assignments listed one month, but they could pop up at a later time.

@tonyfig47 - How are your first Evaluations going with BARE? I thought I'd check in with you and see how you're doing. Please let me know what questions you may have. Happy to assist you.

@Jaymo - Thank you for your kind words!

MY Bare experience is going great i have done 6 shops now. My fav was getting paid to fail a test lol
